![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Has anyone out there used or installed the Stillen Master Brake Cylinder Brace? It is part number #309350. How easy is it to install? Notice improved brake performance or pedal feel?

it might not work with a lot of aftermarket strut bars BTW, and might not quite clear certain front shocks that have adjustable dials unless you use some spacers to raise the brace
the money would be better spent on SS brake lines if you don't already have those

stiffening the brake master cylinder is an old trick, nearly every race car has reinforced mast cylinders. However for you or me, it's hard to say if it's worth it or not, unless we race the car hard, and are on the brakes hard. It will help in emergency situations as well.
I've yet to install this but will soon.

Not to shoot your hopes down but for the $135 that I see it advertised at intensepower.com you are getting burned. I am sure that you could get some of the more fabrication oriented people on this forum such as OverZealous to make something similiar for half the cost easily.
Just my opinion though.
